Just 45 minutes left till the polls close — Tuesday, November 8th, 2011. For the officials, the day started here before 5am and we didn’t get out until 10pm. The two electronic pollbooks maintain a single data base through that “network bridge” but also operate a single ticket printer on the ballot table out of sight. Of 3,900 registered voters, just over 1,000 came to us to vote.
